FCE Creed

I believe my home is sacred;
a place where love, faith,
hope and devotion have their beginnings;
where each has his rights
respected by others;
where joys and blessings, sorrows and
disappointments are shared in common;
where God is revered and honored,
fellowmen respected and love is the law.

I believe it is my duty to live up to the best
that is in me to attain this,
to fear things unworthy, to conquer
difficulties by daring to attempt them,
to be a companion as well as counselor
to my family, and to teach and
live, love of home, country,
fellowmen and God.
